I was struggling a bit with my blog topic today. I logged into WordPress today and was going to manufacture some content, but I received a very nice, helpful comment from http://qrystal.name/. I read through the blog after receiving this comment and it has lots of great internet tools, a little about the author and offers tons of cool blogging suggestions.

If you tuned into yesterday’s post about the process I went through for placing a new logo on this blog. Saying that I am an image editing amateur is giving myself too much credit, so it was a bit of a pain creating the logo. I had voiced a concern about losing SEO because I had replaced the original title, which was text, with an image header. The friendly advice I received from Qrystal was:

However, you should’ve been able to keep the SEO of the text header by simply using your gorgeous image as just a background to the text, instead of incorporating the text into the image itself. Yes, you’d have less control over the font that way, but you’d also ensure that people with images turned off (yes, those people still exist!) can still see the title of the blog.

I hadn’t even thought of that. I’m going to keep my current header for a little while just because I am a bit busy at the moment and am not sure if I have the patience at the moment to get back into image editing. But I am definitely going to give this useful tidbit a shot when I have some free time to improve the header.
